I was looking into new Japanese fonts, and saw mikachan-font(-{ttc,ttf,oft}) and was confused with what the differences were. A little investigation and I was able to find out. mikachan-font was split into three packages along time ago. In the original bug report (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148097#c3) it was slated to be removed in a few months after the new packages got in. Also in another bug report (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149931) it was slated to be removed after the other packages stablized. Well its been at least a year or two and I think someone just forgot the clean up part. mikachan-font and mikachan-font-ttc seem to be identical. So correct me if I'm in the wrong here, but I think it's time for mikachan-font to go and clear up the confusion. Reproducible: Always
*cough* You're absolutely right; since I'm the one who created the mess, I'll try to clean it up now. Sorry!
Masked, mail sent to -dev-announce, removal added to calendar. I'm keeping the bug open till I actually remove it.

Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> (24 Jan 2009) # Finally get rid of the combined mikachan-font package. # These fonts can now be installed through the split packages # mikachan-font-{ttf,ttc,otf} # Removal scheduled for 24 Feb 2009. media-founts/mikachan-font
Gha you're right; can someone please commit this? I'm from my laptop since I'm currently bed-bound for a cold.

Closing since this is fixed.
